Editing Talk:Psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (section)

== Wiki Edit Class Project ==

Hello all,

I am an undergraduate student studying psychology and am in my fourth year. I have been researching PNES for all four years of my undergraduate career and will be making edits to this article under the supervision of my PI and a PhD student. My main goals for this article are to update the citations and ensure the citations come from credible scientific sources, among other things. I am linking my sandbox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SkyM99/Psychogenic_non-epileptic_seizure for anyone to review who may be concerned/interested in my change ideas. This is obviously a work-in-progress and I am still a student, I believe everyone is still a student in this topic, so bear with me!  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:SkyM99|SkyM99]] ([[User talk:SkyM99#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/SkyM99|contribs]]) 19:28, 21 March 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I think the article would be improved if risk factors were defined more narrowly, in line with the use of the term in epidemiology, to include those factors that have genuine predictive value (that is, are associated with increased probability of receiving the diagnosis relative to someone without that factor). This definition would exclude vague psychological constructs like "symptom focusing" as there is no evidence that measures of this construct (even if they could be agreed upon), have any value as predictors of a PNES diagnosis.

I have attempted a rephrase.
